After hearing that Apple are now selling silence, yes, actual silence by gangster-rap group Slum Village for the same 79p as everything else via their iTunes Music Store, it seemed that the world of iTunes and iPods couldn't get anymore ridiculous.
Alas! The iPod-compatible jeans have been announced by Levis Strauss on Tuesday. Containing a 'special joystick' in the pocket and retractable headphones, creating not only a marvel in denim technology but at the same time, a name that will be plaguing playgrounds and underming petty crime for ever more.
"Oi blud, gimme your special joystick."
DiScuss: Will there be an indie backlash with MiniDisc-enabled jeans?
Sorry
I didn't get the memo saying iPods were chavvy. When did this happen?
16:13 today
yep
Wow
This is true breaking news then.
Once again DiS, you've come up trumps!!
Slum Village
are gangsta-rap?????????
whoa.

this happened at 16:12 - didn't you get the memo?
Guess you haven't seen....

How I wish I was lying
Also
I still use Minidisc. One of those crazy sports ones thats encase in concrete and thick white plastic so it actually survives unlike every other MD player.
duh
I believe it's implying that the jeans will make it obvious a person has an iPod on them therefore making them a target for theft of the iPod from a "chav", not that iPods are "chavvy".
I can't believe no one else picked up on this, it pretty much says it in the article.
ipods aren't chavvy
but chavs like to steal them.
iJeans
or iLevis?
or
iDon'tgiveashit
?
how do you wash them? the jeans that is..
score
points
iShotTheDeputy
silence
more (un)importantly are slum village now going to be sued by the john cage estate for doing a track of silence like the wombles bloke?
also didn't realise that aiii-pods were chavvy, possibly only if the sreen is cracked after the scumbag mugged a child for it. I'm holding out for an oy-pod personally, snot green, chews up your mp3's, class.
I love
my iPod. (that's because it's new and hasn't broken yet)
11 months...
...and counting then.
Enjoy.
Pfft.
That's a rumor. I've had mine for over three years and I still haven't had to replace the battery.
Chavtastic
same. Ipod have only becoming chavvy since they have been hung round chavs necks. Blame the Ipod Shuffle!
Oh no...
I've noticed the older ones tend to survive too.
Newer ones (especially iPod Minis) are almost guaranteed to die within a year. I was considering getting some mega 60GB one until about four of my friends' iPods all clapped out at the same time.
also
'underming petty crime'??
Old news
Now it's all about the iRiver red H10 that I paid more for because it was red and not silver on Amazon.
Didn't you get the memo?
No...
They're obsolete.

My iPod mini died...
that said I dropped it several feet. Apple did replace it for free, though, and rather quickly as well. Hurrah
Bollocks...
...I've had 4 in a year, and no i don't chuck em about. One never worked, and i only got a new one cos the nice man extended my warranty! They are shit but i love mine, the mongy bastard.
i suppose
they're kind of endearing. like a slightly thick friend.
it'd be a fucker
if you put them in the wash with the iPod still in the pocket....
Is that a special joystick in your pocket?
or are you pleased etc.
i-river
now there's something, the 20gb i-rivers are great, don't get an i-pod get an i-river, nothing to do with apple, (i THINK sony make them) but don't get an i-pod now, there crap. my bro got an i-river ist hand for £170, it holds more than my more expensive than that and now broken i-pod mini and has two standard sized head phone sockets
iRivers are made by
iRiver of all people. They're a korean company and do make very good Mp3 players. The other headphones socket is infact line out btw. Sony make their own Mp3 players.
iRivers
are wicked. on my 20Gb one I got an extension for USB so i can copy and paste between friends mp3 players.
it's the sociable down the pub side of music piracy.
You Can Do That With iPods...
